In 1962, Dick Rowe from Decca Records rejected a demo-tape made by some young men from the north of England with the infamous words, ‘Guitar bands are on their way out.’ EMI’s George Martin reacted rather differently, which is why we, a billion sold records later, have heard of The Beatles. This year, many of us will be hearing again the New Testament’s witness to the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The first disciples were frightened, confused and overjoyed by the empty tomb and their encounters with the risen Jesus. But for us, two thousand years later, Easter can have a dull familiarity. It is easy to assume Easter can be safely ignored. That would be a costly mistake. Easter is not a pious way of talking about the new life of spring. Nor is it just a comforting message for those who find it helpful. Rather, it is God’s way of transforming us and our world: now, as we live the new life he gives us when we put our faith in Jesus Christ; and on the Last Day, when we shall be bodily raised from the dead to enjoy life in God’s new creation for ever. Decca came to realize what an enormous mistake they had made. EMI reaped the benefits of their good decision. This Easter, we have to make a decision. We could ignore the implications of Jesus’ resurrection and live as if it were just a nice story. Or we could receive the good news in faith, recognize Jesus as Lord and King, and rejoice in God’s love. Make sure you make the right decision.

We were delighted to welcome Graham Wardman as a guest to our meeting. Graham gave the young people a very interesting talk about the ‘physical’ heart, its function in the body, how and why things go wrong and how you can look after your heart to ‘prevent’ trouble.
